Mission San Xavier del Bac
Located in nearby Tucson, Mission San Xavier del Bac is a Spanish Catholic mission dating from 1692 when it was founded by Father Eusebio Francisco Kino, a Jesuit missionary. At the time the area was an Indian village, and Kino was the first non-Indian to visit the place, which was then known as Wa:k (although he wrote "Bac,"). It is he who called for the construction of the church, named in honor of San Francisco Xavier; however, the church needed to be rebuilt after 1770 due to destruction from Apache attacks.
Because at this time Spanish Jesuits were banned from the Americas, it was rebuilt under the eye of the Franciscans. This is a unique facet of Mission San Xavier del Bac, as it's one of the few Arizona missions still led by Franciscans, with mass still taking place. Additionally, the church is touted as the oldest European structure in Arizona still intact, and often the country's best example of Spanish Colonial architecture.

Live, Work, Drink, Dreamby Basharat Peer '07JRN
If I were asked to name the single work of American literature that is most widely read and discussed in cities and towns, colleges and universities across India, my guess would be John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath. The choice is natural — conversations in India about rural–urban migration and the struggles of village folk who turn into badly paid and barely protected industrial workers have often reminded me of Steinbeck's Joad family. And while the worker is a key figure in American literature, particularly over the last century, he is curiously absent from contemporary Indian fiction.
That gap is gradually being filled by a growing number of nonfiction writers. The first wave of "New India" books, published in the last decade, sought to describe and explain the country of a billion people and capture the changes to that country brought on in part by India's rising economy. As Indian entrepreneurs oversold the story of the nation's imminent superpower status, correctives to that vision began to emerge as well: the Pulitzer Prize –winning American journalist Katherine Boo '88BC published her extraordinary account of life in a Bombay slum, Behind the Beautiful Forevers, and the New York–based Indian writer Siddhartha Deb '06GSAS traveled across the country to report his account of India's gilded age of new money and new poverty in The Beautiful and the Damned.
Aman Sethi's A Free Man is an excellent addition to these books, which bring into sight the hidden worlds of India's have-nots. Owing to the high growth rate of the Indian economy over the past decade, the number of Indians working as laborers in construction has more than doubled, from 18 million in 2000 to around 44 million in 2010. Sethi '09JRN, a young reporter who grew up in New Delhi and worked there for a magazine, sets out to understand the life of just one of those 44 million.
Sethi met Mohammad Ashraf, a forty-year-old house painter, and his friends in a decrepit, crowded part of Delhi abutting the city's Muslim ghetto. Bara Tooti is a labor market populated by painters and plumbers, salesmen and repairmen, rickshaw pullers and cigarette sellers, mazdoors (laborers) and mistrys (masons), a place "on the streets of which daily wagers like Ashraf live, work, drink, and dream." It provides work and wages a man can survive on, but it is a hard, exacting place, where the pressures of life often send people into hospitals, drive them mad, or even kill them at an early age.
Ashraf and his friends live on the street. They have stitched pockets in the insides of their shirts and pouches into the waistbands of their trousers — on-person vaults where they keep their money, identity papers, and phone numbers of homes they left years ago. In the mornings, except when they are too hung-over, they squat with their tools in the Bara Tooti and wait for contractors to pick them up for a day's work: painting a wall, repairing a roof, or lugging bags of cement and piles of bricks up construction- site scaffolding.

For all people alike, vacation is the best time of the year. In order to make your vacation fun and memorable it is essential to choose your travel destination wisely.
Every travel destination is very unique and the experience of visiting any place varies from person to person. A lot of factors determine what kind of destination any person will rejoice and feel rejuvenated in.
Here are some basic guidelines to choosing your ideal vacation destination:
- Decide what you want to do most on your trip to rewind and relax: A lot of people enjoy adventure sports and camping, for such people usually hill stations and mountain peaks are advised as vacation spots. Similarly some people enjoy history and archaeology, the best location for people with such interests will be a city with a lot of colloquial touch to it and a lot of history engraved in its walls. Cities like Rome and Egypt will be preferred for such people. The need to select your travel destination based on what activity you wish to pursue or perform is essential as it will be a key determinant in deciding how much you will enjoy. A person who enjoys water activities will completely dislike a vacation to a dessert region. A family travelling with children will naturally prefer a place with theme parks and other child friendly recreational activities.
- Visas: If you are travelling to a foreign destination then make sure you have all your visa requirements ready well in advance. There are multiple places across the world which you can visit without a visa if you are an Indian passport holder. Visiting such a place might be a good idea as you will cut down on unnecessary visa expenses.
- Vaccinations: Though this might be a factor that doesn't come into use in most cases, in certain situations it is essential. All people visiting certain African diseases need to go through a series of medical tests and vaccinations in order to be deemed fit and to also take a preventive measure from not being affected by any disease present there. So before you decide on your destination make sure you have all these points covered.
- Safety Issues: As we all know there is toil and turmoil in a lot of places and racism also exists in certain places. Prevention is better than cure. Hence it is always better to find about the political and civil stability of the place you plan on visiting and also their acceptance of visitors and foreigners. If you are visiting a place within your own country then follow the daily newspaper regularly for an update about the safety situation in various places.
- Budget: This is a very important factor while deciding your vacation destination, as a wrong estimate may lead you to spending way more than you had originally planned or even curb you from performing all the activities and roaming the destination well due to budget restraints. Though some places may be expensive to reach, the local expenditure on things like stay and food may be low due to the local economy. Hence it is advisable to do a thorough research on all such aspects before finalizing your destination.
- Language: Communication is essential while travelling so that nobody takes you for a ride or mugs you. It is beneficial if you know the local language, else learn minimal communication in the language of the place you are going to, for instance, learning to ask "where is the washroom?" can be very essential.
- Timing: The time period during which you travel to the destination can determine a lot of things regarding how you enjoy the vacation. If you go during peak winter to a hill station your entire vacation may be ruined as most hill stations are almost completely shut during such situations. Also visiting any destination during non-peak season my help beat the crowd and visit locations and explore with more ease. Some countries like the Middle Eastern countries also have strict fasting and eating rules during their holy month of Ramadan and hence your vacation dinner plans etc. may not turn out as expected. Hence, it is important to find an ideal time to travel.

Launched by the London based technology innovator Exponential-e, the Exponential-e Academy will pave the way for hundreds of job-seekers to apply for 10 sales trainee roles. The annual recruitment programme, now in its fifth year, has received over 3000 applicants with 41 offered full-time roles since 2008.
Exponential-e was founded ten years ago in the shadow of the Olympic Stadium in the heart of East London. Built on technology innovation and a history of investment in youth, the organisation is one of the UKs most profitable privately owned companies.
CEO and Founder, Lee Wade comments "The very foundations of this business are about creating opportunities. Be it opportunities for the brightest engineering brains to design a complex network to broadcast the Royal Wedding to millions, or for ambitious young people to find new markets and new ways to market. The Academy is a belief, a belief that you need to invest in the future if youre to thrive.
The Exponential-e Academy is open to applicants with varying levels of sales skills. Potential and key characteristics are examined over a one day assessment with exposure to much of the business. Individual and group challenges and tasks are set to find the most ambitious and industrious. For the 10 or so selected the investment by the business has its rewards.
"Graduating in 2009, like many of my peers, I left university in the midst of a recession. I have a first in Business and entered into what was a very competitive job market. I applied for the Exponential-e Academy that summer and have never looked back. During the assessment day, you bond with so many people, you learn a lot about yourself. The investment made by Exponential-e began the day I became part of the Academy and continues three years on. I have learned a considerable amount during in my time with the company, and am now, along with my colleagues, an important part of a very successful team. I get a buzz out of being in such a forward-thinking environment, and I manage some of the company's largest blue-chip accounts," said Sean Humphrey, Account Manager, Exponential-e.
Lee Wade added "The Government and the Shadow Cabinet talk about schemes and a "real jobs guarantee" but in reality, its down to UK businesses to fuel job creation. If the priority is on short term shareholder returns rather than future growth, well continue to see talented young people waste their skills in jobs providing little fulfilment or no jobs at all. Im looking forward to seeing what our fifth Academy brings us in terms of talent and aspiration.
The 2012 Exponential-e Academy was launched today with a recruitment drive via online advertising, social media and digital campaigns. The short listing of candidates for the one day assessments begins 23rd April with the Academy itself due to start in June.

This is a project I worked on as Design Lead at Seiue, a Beijing-based educational technology startup, prior to coming to CMU. In 8 months we designed and implemented an integrated web-based management system for leading local high schools.
The Affiliated High School of Peking University (Bei Da Fu Zhong, BDFZ) is a leading high school in Beijing. It is also one of the pioneers of a nation-wide educational reform that underlines individuality. This reform will introduce course selection, diversified assessment methods and peer learning to public high schools, most of whose students currently follow unified assigned schedules, are assessed only by national standardized tests, and learn only through the one-way input from teachers.
Such a reform poses significant challenges to high school management. Seiue recognized this market opportunity and worked closely with BDFZ to explore how technology can assist this new mode of management and inspire new, creative ways of learning.
We identified three key stakeholders: students, teachers and school administrators. We talked with users from all three groups in BDFZ to understand their workflows and obstacles. We focused on how information flowed in a high school and how the reform was changing the dynamics between stakeholders. We were also interested in how they perform specific tasks with existing IT systems, in order to identify the opportunities for improvement.
Some of the key insights from the research include:
Based on the insights above, our vision is to build a system that provides seamless integration of learning, teaching, and school management. The system should be easy-to-use for students, teachers, and school administrators. It should be web-based to ensure maximum cross-platform compatibility.
We made prototypes in various fidelity levels, from rough models showing basic page layout and links to comprehensive wireframes showing every interaction details. We iterated our design based on user feedback for several rounds.
The final design features different functionalities and interfaces for three different user roles: students, teachers and administrators.
For students Chalk is a tool to manage their school life in one place. Students can select and register for classes, access class materials and interact with teachers and peers. They can also view their grades and each grade component for classes.
For teachers Chalk is a tool to easily handle everything regarding his/her course, including choosing the right students, taking attendance, distributing class materials, and giving grades.
For school administrators the most important functions are the management of courses and users. They are responsible to maintain a course inventory of the school, initiate and manage course selection, and supervise the attendance of every class each day. They would also have access to the profiles and schedules of all students and teachers.
Since its launching in November 2014, BDFZ has been using chalk for more than one year (4 quarters) and it has been regularly updated. Other leading local high schools such as Bayi High School also started to adopt this system.
Currently Seiue is working on improving Chalk and developing new social learning platforms to support and inspire high school education reforms. A new round of user research and prototyping is underway.
Thanks for reading!

The Importance Of Nourishment
In a world filled with fast food, processed food, preservatives, additives, white grains and less heritage seeds, it is important to keep our bodies well nourished. Here we discuss some of the very best ways that you can nourish your body very quickly and effectively.
For many people, when they think of nourishment, they think of eating fruits and vegetables and whilst this is most certainly true, there are also a number of other things that can help with nourishing your body which is much more effective and will have a faster impact on your life.
How To Nourish Effectively
When we talk about the importance of nourishment, we can either talk from a natural healing perspective i.e. my body is depleted and in need of more nourishment, or from a preventative medicine perspective i.e. I don't want to be sick, therefore I will nourish myself effectively.
Whichever side of this you are on, the below techniques will certainly help you to bring more nourishment, vitality, life affirming enzymes and more goodness into your life. May you find something here that works for you and may this help you towards more nourishment in your life.
Whichever side of this you are on, the below techniques will certainly help you to bring more nourishment, vitality, life affirming enzymes and more goodness into your life. May you find something here that works for you and may this help you towards more nourishment in your life.
Go Organic
Choosing an organic diet means that your body can receive a wonderful amount of natural nutrition, good vitamins & minerals as well as natural enzymes just as nature intended. You can also relax knowing that there are no harmful toxins going into your bloodstream as a result of farmers spraying the crops.
Your liver will thank you for this decision as it is not being burdened with trying to rid the body of these pesticides and herbicides and as a result you will likely feel more health, energy and vitality in the longer term.
More Raw
When we eat raw, it allows our bodies to get all those deliciously good enzymes and life force from the food, especially if you can eat it just after it has been freshly picked or sprouted!
Introducing raw foods into your diet is one of the easiest and most important things you can do to bring more nourishment into your life. But this doesn't mean that you just have to eat plain and boring foods, check out the picture here as an example of something 'raw' --->
This is a totally raw strawberry cheesecake made from a variety of fruits and nuts - and it's absolutely delicious! You can find more recipes like like in our
raw food section.
More Superfoods
When you search for 'superfoods' in google, you will often see a list of many different foods that people consider to be 'super' because of the high level of vitamins and minerals - as such there are commonly referred to as super foods. Some common superfoods are spirulina, chlorella, wheatgrasss, nettle, alfalfa, apples, garlic, barley leaf, broccoli and many more.
And in the interests of giving ourselves a nutrient blast, especially for those who are experiencing some kind of serious illness or disease, why not try some superfoods to give your body what it needs to heal itself!
There is no greater way to get nutrition into your body than to follow this one simple strategy. For example, by adding just a small amount of 'greens powder' to your daily diet can provide you with a wide array of wonderful nutrients that your body will be so incredibly grateful for!
More Juices & Smoothies
If you think about how many fruits & vegetables goes into one juice, its a lot! And when you combine this with the understanding that slow pressed juicers still give you the same basic amount of nutrients in the juice as you would get in the food itself, it really does make a lot of sense to introduce juicing as a super fast way to get nutrients into the body.
Could you eat 2 apples, 2 carrots, 1/2 pineapple, 1/4 cucumber and 1 banana in one sitting? Probably yes, but it would be much easier to just drink this as a juice or smoothie. Click here for delicious smoothie recipes. Juicing is another amazing way to get lots of nutrients into your system at a very fast rate and when combined with superfood powders, it is an unbeatable combination!
Eliminate Meat
There is a famous naturopath in the USA who used to tell his seriously or terminally ill patients to do 3 important things for effective nourishing:
1. Take super-foods powder
2. Juice as much as possible
3. Give up meat (entirely)
Reducing meat can be very beneficial for helping to de-clog our digestive system and therefore help us to eliminate many kinds of nasties from within. By keeping a fast flowing and clean intentional system, we are better able to step clear of things like parasites, fungi and other little nasties that like to live in a clogged digestive system. It is often said in the natural healing circles that the main source of serious dis-ease starts in our colon!
Less Processed Foods
With most of us being time poor, convenience foods are now at an all time high. This includes many kinds of fast foods and particularly, processed foods that we can either snack on or throw together at the last minute to make a meal.
What we don't see though is that there are many not so nice things going into these so called 'foods' that we don't know about. For example, anything which starts with an E on the label will probably not be good for your body. So if we can, it is best to reduce processed foods and add more wholesome, healthy and 'real' foods into your diet. See our food inspiration section for more details
Grow Your Own
There is something about growing your own food that is satisfying on many different levels. Firstly, the cost - super duper cheap. Secondly, the idea that you have grown it - totally satisfying. Thirdly, it can be organic. Fourthly, you are eating just as you pick it to lock in nutrients and finally, it tastes delicious!
And whilst many people will not have a lot of time to dedicate to growing their own vegetables, this is certainly something that will add to your level of nourishment because you are eating your own organically grown vegetables as soon as they are picked i.e. they are loaded with life force!
Go Wild
Many of us don't realise that there are many weeds growing in your garden right now that are edible and incredibly nutritious. Take for example the idea of stinging nettle, this 'weed' that grows here in New Zealand is said to be loaded with more nutrition than wheatgrass. You can dehydrate this and then grind it up with some other greens edibles to make your own free 'super-greens' powder!
Normally, when starting out with wild foods, we suggest that you introduce these into your diet bit by bit. So for example, you might chop up a few dandelion leaves from your garden lawn and throw this into a stir fry with other veggies to add to the flavours of your overall dish. Remember, proportion is everything!
This video by Sergei Boutenko (an expert on wild foods) will introduce you to some of the different wild foods that you might be growing in your garden right now and best of all - they're all free!
Find Inner Peace
Whilst this is not really a form of food nourishment, doing regular deep breathing exercises can be very helpful to your health in many different ways. By doing regular deep breathing, you are allowing the body and mind to enter the 'rest and digest' state so that it can better heal, nourish and restore any imbalances from within.
Meditation can also help us to regain balance and centred-ness in our life and can also help us to heal and purify away many different kinds of imbalance or toxic thoughts. Love Inspiration offers lots of different free meditation and healing courses to help you on your journey towards more nourishment, cleansing and health in your life.

Continuing the story or probably the highlight from the Rann as we drove deeper into the Rann, Pratap bhai and I sighted some blackish aberrations on the ground, a far distance away. A little further and we realized there were aquilans on the ground, four in total with a small object in between.
(the four Aquilans and the Barnie!)
We stopped at a distance (when we saw the eagles were aware of our arrival), quite far from where we could see 4 of them on the ground and an object in between them. Surprised and happy at the same time to see so many of them together, we were probing into what was the object in between. The eagle's are more or less identified as a combination of Greater Spottee Eagle and Steppe Eagles.
(Steppe Eagle)
We never figured out till the object moved its head and Pratap bhai noticed it and shouted Owl, Owl. What! I refused to believe stating it couldn't be and it was a piece of stone or rock, but as I was uttering and watching through the binoculars, the object moved again.
(in the middle of nowhere...)
Ah! I was wrong and pretty surprised in seeing an owl in the middle of Rann surrounded by eagles…! By now, the eagles were unhappy with our presence (we were quite far still) and took off one by one soaring high into the sky and vanished without a trace.
The owl was still on the ground with its head lowered and looked lost or probably had lost hopes of survival or probably was being chased by the eagles or probably had fallen off in flight due to exhaustion, I'll never know!!!
(a distant shot from the jeep - notice the angle)
By now, we had figured out it was indeed a Barn Owl that looked like an object surrounded by the eagles. We came closer and the Barnie was still and unmoved. We were about a distance of 30m and yet the Barnie was still and unmoved, meditating with its eyes closed.
(a closer look again from the jeep)
Now, I got off the jeep and wore the protective gear for the elbows, changed the settings in the camera and yet the owl showed no signs of movement! I went flat on the ground and inching closer to it got as close as 10-15m and yet it remained still.
(closest view, shot lying on the ground - notice the angle)
After the shoot, I woke up, retreated and now doubted whether the owl was well or in a semi conscious state of shock. I walked straight up to it slowly and then as I was close, it flew off much to my relief and then sat again a little distance away.
Sensing, it would be dehydrated, we left a little pool of water closer to it on a piece of foil sheet closer to it and left the scene.
(parting shot...the Barnie!)
What was the Barnie doing in the middle of Rann, how did it reach? What happened later are some questions that I have no clue about and best left unanswered.
On field, some incidents never fail to amaze you much to your disbelief.

Tascam VL-S21 : la opinión de moosers (content in English)
I've had my Tascam VL-S21 for about 6 months now and I really like the sound of these. Let me say first that I have a pair pf Yamaha NS-10Ms for mixing and primarily use my Tascams to listen to mixes on a separate pair of speakers and for just general computer and music speakers. It has a real full sound and I love the sleak design it has. Although I would prefer to have another set of studio monitors to listen to mixes on, this does the trick at a price that is unbeatable. I do notice that because of the sub woofer it does have a heavy low end to it that doesn't always show up on other sets of speakers, for this reason I never mix with these. All in all I'm very happy with these speakers for what I use them for, but if you are looking for some studio monitors to do mixing on, I would suggest that you spend a few more dollars and get a set of true studio monitors so you can get a fuller and more realistic response from your monitors as these do color the sound a bit.

Fed shutdown forces NSF websites to go dark
The partial U.S. government shutdown that began Tuesday morning counts the National Science Foundation websites and applications, and those who would use them, as victims.
The NSF.gov website now only features a page explaining in 1,157 words why there's not much there aside from the explanation itself.
The web page reads in part:
"Due to the lapse in government funding, National Science Foundation websites and business applications, including NSF.gov, FastLane, and Research.gov will be unavailable until further notice. We sincerely regret this inconvenience. Updates regarding government operating status and resumption of normal operations can be found at www.opm.gov.
In cases of imminent threat to life or property, please call the Office of the Inspector General at 1-800-428-2189."
Among other things, no new funding opportunities will be issued, according to the NSF web page.
The NSF funds a slew of network and computing research, largely at universities. Recent funding has gone toward the iPlant Collaborative, a big data project about plants and animals, and another project designed to speed data processing for applications such as healthcare devices and security systems.
One contributor to Dave Farber's Interesting People mailing list wrote today that: "I was astonished, going to Fastlane to check recent NSF awards, to find that it, and all of the other NSF sites, are now down, or, to be exact, redirect to a page explaining that they're unavailable due to the budget impasse."
The government shutdown has forced most government scientists, such as those with the NSF and National Institutes of Health, along with NASA, to stay home.

For MYSELF
We are not perfect.It would be easy to see ourselves as incomplete.I battle fatigue that leaves me drained and discouraged.I suppose I could wallow and pity myself.At times I do go that route,but it never ends well.To love others and make them happy,first you must love yourself.So I want you to think about your imperfections and embrace them!Look in the mirror.Now really look!What do you love about your face?Look deeply and search.I want you to think I am beautiful!
Be aware of negative self talk.If you find yourself in a cycle of talking down to yourself;try today to think the opposite.
For my HUSBAND
Sometimes we get into a groove or the"day to day" living that is ok but not exciting or spontaneous.Tonight I am not going to look like an overtired wife.I am going to wear a dress and do my make up.Next,I am not going to say I am too tired to anything.Just one night where he feels loved COMPLETELY and in charge!
For my KIDS
Since we are talking opposites today,why not have a opposites day or no rule day.They can do what they want as long as it is not hurting anyone
on the inside or out.This includes themselves!
Today's Prayer
That my husband and children's faith will increase.
For my HOME
I want my home to be a place where everyone feels comfortable.They want to stay because of what they feel while they are there.First of all since I have been thinking about my home having energy(or lack of) I have noticed something.Certain rooms make me happy and some make me tense up the minute I step foot in it.I guess this isn't too strange right?I never really thought to give some of my rooms a makeover.Get out the lipstick,eye shadow and blush!Not for you but for your room?Huh?Maybe. Some brightly colored pillows or showing off some treasured items may just lighten your mood a bit!
He is my cute little accessory!

Accidents happen to everyone. More often than not, the accident is minor, and it occurs in a safe area. However, sometimes accidents occur in unfamiliar locales, where a driver may not feel comfortable pulling over immediately. Sometimes, an accident may cause an individual to suffer confusion, resulting in a situation where the driver of a vehicle doesn't know what to do. In these situations, individuals may find themselves criminally liable for leaving the scene of an accident.
If you've been accused, call our Weston criminal defense lawyer now at (954) 371-0770.
Florida law requires that the driver of any vehicle involved in a crash, which results in damage to person or property, must immediately stop at the scene of the crash (or as close thereto as possible), and remain at the scene in order to give information and render aid.
Failure to immediately stop and remain at the scene could result in a conviction for a second degree misdemeanor. Anyone convicted of leaving the scene of an accident not only faces a criminal record, but also a 60 day jail sentence and a hefty fine.
There are defenses available for individuals accused of leaving the scene of an accident. Call our Weston criminal defense lawyer now to discuss the available defenses to your case. Schedule your free initial consultation.

Your Favorite Color Tells Something Important About Yourself!
Almost everyone has a favorite color. Even if you don't think you have one, you're probably still more naturally drawn to some colors more than others.
The psychology of color is a study in how the colors we prefer play a hand in our personalities and behavioral traits, and it's a real thing.
Your personality color does not have to be one you wear all the time; it is usually your favorite, the color that excites you the most and makes you feel alive when you see it.
Check out below if how your favorite color describes your personality:
* Red
You are outgoing and positive person who is constantly in action. You love being the center of attention. If red is your favorite color, you are power-hungry, competitive, passionate and enthusiastic. You always follow your dreams and goals and patience is not one of your strong points.

5 Ways to Care for an Author
What is the best way for a friend or significant other to care for an author? It's a question that comes up often in the days before National Novel Writing Month or it's mini version; Camp NNWM.
1) Don't offer to hang out whenever. Instead try to be specific, schedule a time for the two of you to hang out and do something that isn't writing related. (Yes, even if you're their significant other.) Having an event planned for the evening might add the right amount of oomph to help the writer get everything done earlier in the day.
2) Don't be annoyed if they cancel a plan. Writers put a lot of stress and pressure on themselves. If they don't think they have the time to hang out please be assured that it's because they're worried about their work and deadlines. Not because they don't want to hang out with you.
3) Do feed and water them. When a writer is in the middle of a great new idea they can forget to eat, drink, and sleep. Helping them by putting food and water (or coffee) on their desk will be greatly appreciated, though they might not show it until they're out of their creative fog.
4) Do show interest in their work, but don't pester them. Knowing that your there to be a kind and constructive beta reader is really helpful. But a writer usually knows when they are ready to show their work, so don't push too hard!
5) Please remember to comment on both the bad AND the good. This applies to how they act during writers block just as much it applies to their writing. Thank them for washing the dishes and ask if there is any way to help them through their current predicament. Leave comments saying that you were laughing out loud and highlight sections that were confusing. Most importantly, be kind and truthful.

Francium Discovered by Margaret
Perry, in Parris, France, during 1939. Exteremley unstable, it's longers half life being 22 seconds, its shortest being 12 microseconds. Type: Metal
Symbol: Fr
Atomic Number: 27
Atomic Mass: 273
Period: 1
Group Number: 7
Family: Alkali Metals If you drop Francium into a tub of water,
it'll blow a hole through the tub and
explode, even with just a small amount.
Also any Alkali metal will react explosively
with water.Lithium, Sodium, Magnesium,
Rubidium, Caesium, and Francium being
the most reactive, causing a bigger explosion.
As Francium is extremeley rare,
you will never hold it in your life. Scientists estimated that
only 20 to 30 grams can be found
on the earth's crust at one time. It's so rare that it has no price, it will not be sold to any one. Also, it is so rare that not many photos have been made of it. Francium can be found
only in the earth's core,
and uranium holds small
Traces of it.
Due to its instability and rarity, there are no commercial applications for francium. It has been used for research purposes in the fields of biology and of atomic structure. Its use as a potential diagnostic aid for various cancers has also been explored, but this application has been deemed impractical.

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Businessman and bar owner Biju Ramesh has revealed that the CPM leadership had promised him that all the closed bars would be reopened if he is ready to go ahead with the bar bribery case against former finance minister K M Mani.
He added that it was CPM state secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishanan who personally met him and made the promise, and added that he had also met V S Achuthanandan and Pinarayi Vijayan regarding the same.
Talking to a private channel, he said that the LDF backed off from fulfilling the promise once they came to power.
"We'll have to say the LDF cheated if they acquit K M Mani after dismissing the bar bribery case. It's not just me, but they would also be cheating the public who believed in their promise of corruption-free governance. Everyone knows that K M Mani cannot escape from the bar bribery case without the help of the CPM. It's disheartening to see that the same people who encouraged me to go ahead with the case against Mani, are striking deals with Mani behind me," he said.
Ramesh also said that the attempt to dismiss the bar bribery scam by saying that there aren't enough evidence is a high-level fraud.
He added that the bar owners would be ready to testify against Mani if they are given political support.

From the age of 4 until I turned 20 and transferred up to Los Angeles for school, I lived in a little town called Dulzura – Spanish for 'sweetness' – in East County of San Diego. There is one highway, California State Route 94, that takes you through and I have driven it a thousand times so it was quite surprising to me a few years back when I noticed a little vineyard had popped up.
This weekend, my parents (not big wine drinkers) and I (big drinker period) finally got the chance to stop by and explore a bit. Below are a few casual pictures I took of the lovely Dulzura Vineyard and Winery. If you happen to be out cruising on Highway 94, may I suggest a quick pit stop here to enjoy a sip of the fruity Malbec or a glass of Chardonnay – which I do not usually enjoy but found the one from here delightfully crisp.
Dulzura Vineyard & Winery

Egypt has joined the rest of the Arab Gulf nations to severe ties with Qatar over what they termed as "Qatar's support for terrorism".
Also, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Maldives and Bahrain have in the same manner severed relations with the small Gulf country. However, Kuwait and Oman, also members of the Gulf Cooperation Council are yet to break ties with Qatar. According to the Kuwait News Agency, KUN, the Emir of Kuwait has sent out a strong message to Qatar's Emir urging him to exercise "self-restraint and refrain from steps that would escalate the situation".
According to CNN, this is coming two weeks after a media report emerged with comments allegedly made by Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim Al Hamad Al Thani. Al Thani in which he reportedly hailed Iran as an "Islamic power" and criticized US President Donald Trump's policy towards Tehran. The World were not in doubt of the source of the comments as they were reported by the Qatar's official media Agency. However, the Doha authorities quickly denounced the media report saying the News Agency's website was hacked by some unknown persons.
According to Reuters, Qatari visitors and residents have been given two weeks to leave their countries by Egypt. Saudi Arabia on its part has closed its border with Qatar (the only land border Qatar has) and halted air and sea traffic with Qatar, urging "all brotherly countries and companies to do the same".
Speaking on the bans, Al Jazeera reports that Qatar's foreign ministry said it regretted the measures by the Arab nations, calling the decisions "unjustified". "The measures are unjustified and are based on claims and allegations that have no basis in fact," the statement said, adding that the decisions would "not affect the normal lives of citizens and residents".
"The aim is clear, and it is to impose guardianship on the state. This by itself is a violation of its [Qatar's] sovereignty as a state," it added.
In a reactionary development, Dubai-based Emirates Airlines and Abu Dhabi's Etihad have announced they will stop all flight operations to and from Qatar. It is expected that other airlines within the affected countries will also do same.

Credit Card Rate Gap Uncovered1st October 2010
The Bank of England (BoE) has kept interest rates on hold for the 18th month in a row, but the interest rates charged by credit card companies continue to rise.
In fact the BoE base rate, the key interest rate that most affects savers and borrowers, has gone down in the last 2 years but credit card interest rates continue to climb.
In September 2008 the Base Rate was 5.0%, it now remains steady at 0.5%. In that time the average interest rate on a new credit card has gone from 16.5% to 18.1%, a rise of more than 1.5%.
And its not just new customers that are affected, on average there are more customers finding their credit card interest rates rising than there are falling. The average rate charged by the most popular cards is now 17.32 percent, up from 16.47 percent in January 2009.
The good news is that this month there's a proliferation of new 0% Balance Transfer credit card deals on the market and consumers should look to maximise the opportunity that these deals offer to save cash. Whilst the new deals are offering lengthy 0% balance transfer terms, card holders should be aware that the prevailing interest rates at the end of the 0% period are the highest they've been for ten years.
If you're undertaking a credit card comparison of 0% balance transfer cards, look out for cards that offer the latest "positive payment order" (PPO) terms. If you select a card without PPO, and you then use that card to make new purchases or draw cash, you'll end up paying off your 0% balance transfer debt ahead of your purchases, which will then be locked into the higher prevailing rate of interest.
As an alternative to Balance Transfer Cards if your credit score permits, take a look at the credit card deals on Black Credit Cards which are often offering the most competitive headline long term interest rates. However, you'll need to have the correct spending profile and lifestyle to justify the annual fees that some of these cards charge and still be better off.
Statistically the UK's 30 million credit card users are using them less, probably due to the ongoing press commentary that the "debt not save" mentality of the noughties got us into the credit crunch in the first place. Datamonitor, the financial information provider suggests the market will contract by 2.7% this year. This inevitably feeds through to lower profits for banks and credit card issuers.
It's safe to assume as we've seen most of the High Street Banks returning to substantial profits, the credit card rate gap is at least partly responsible.

|Common blue Polyommatus icarus
The common blue is a small butterfly. In some areas it can be very common. It can be seen from late winter to early autumn but it is most common in early summer.
Males and females are different. The male has blue upper wings with a bluish base. In females the upper wings are brown with a tinge of blue. The underside of males is grey with some blue at the base while in females it is browner. Both sexes have a number of diagnostic spots on their underwing.
The larva of the common blue feeds on several species of leguminous plants especially trefoils and clovers.
It is found in most of Europe, parts of Asia, North Africa and in the
Canary Islands. It was recently
introduced in eastern . Canada
The common blue is a member of the lycaenid family. In this family we find over 5,000 species. In
seven species are found. All
are small with either bluish or brownish upper parts. The common blue is the
commonest species. Malta
In Maltese it is known as farfett tal-anġlu.
The lycaenid family is the second-largest butterfly family with about forty percent of all butterflies many of which are threatened with extinction. Sometimes these butterflies are known simply as blues.
Another common species is the Lang's short-tailed blue, known in Maltese as ikħal tad-denb qasir. This species lays its eggs on the plumbago, a beautiful garden plant, and, is often seen resting in its flowers.
The holly blue, known in Maltese as ikħal fiddieni, is common in areas where its food-plants, the ivy and bramble are common. A good place to see this species is at Wied il-Luq in Buskett.
The long-tailed blue (ikħal tad-denb twil) is not common. Most of the time it can be seen flying low above thyme bushes but visits bean plants to lay eggs.

The Electoral College is an entity that was created by the writers of the United States Constitution. Because the original colonies that came together to create the United States of America greatly feared mob rule, which some felt would happen with a direct presidential election, the Founding Fathers created the Electoral College, which has become an integral part of our election system. Under this system, voters who vote for president are not actually voting for that candidate, but are actually voting for electors who should then vote for that particular candidate.
Under the Electoral College system, each state is given electors during a presidential election. The number of electors is equal to the number of senators and representatives the state has in the U.S. legislature. Three additional electors were added to represent the nation's capital in the Twenty-third Amendment, which makes 538 total electors. With this structure, states with larger populations have significantly more electors than small states.
Presidential elections are held on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November every four years. After the results have been tallied, the Electoral College meets on the Monday after the second Wednesday in December to cast their votes. In most elections, the electors will vote for the candidates that the people chose through the popular vote. However, this is not required by law. The Founding Fathers felt that there would potentially be times when the people would not know which candidate would be the best president, and as a result the electors can choose to vote against the popular vote. Today this is rare, but it is possible.
Some states have made laws that require the electors to vote according to the will of the people. Other states have separate groups of electors for each party, and these electors are bound to vote for the their party's candidate. When the votes are tallied, these states send the appropriate electors to the December vote, thus ensuring that the choice the people made is followed. However, not all states have these provisions, so it is entirely possible for an elector to vote for a candidate that did not win the popular vote in her state.
Because of the Electoral College system, the president can actually gain the White House without winning the popular vote. With 538 electors, the winning candidate must have 270 votes to win the election. Since most states send all of their electors to the candidate who won the popular vote in that state, a candidate could receive a lot of electoral votes from a state that actually had a close election. This could, theoretically, allow the candidate to win the national election without winning the popular vote. Additionally, in a situation where there are more than two candidates, no one could end up winning the electoral vote. In this situation, the Twelfth Amendment allows the House of Representatives to choose the president through a majority vote wherein each state receives just one vote.

Summer has finally arrived, along with a boy who will forever change the life of fourteen-year-old Callie. After growing up hearing stories about Tristan Trevosier and his famous family, Callie finally meets him when he spends the summer on Martha's Vineyard. Seventeen-year-old Tristan is a hurricane of destruction and rebellion, and he quickly blows a hole right into Callie's sheltered life. Callie sees a side of Tristan that he doesn't show anyone else. She's determined to make everyone see what she sees in him.
Callie defies her parents by leaving the island with Tristan. But when his ugly habits rear their head, Callie realizes maybe she's the one who's wrong about him. He's beyond her help. But it's too late for her to walk away. This summer, she learns that love can be stronger than reason.
Book Name:
Seasons in the Sun (The Night Songs Collection, #.5)
Book Genre:
Young Adult Contemporary
Book release date
: 12/4/13 by Fast Foreword Publishing
I've been looking forward to getting my hands on this book! Seasons in the Sun is the prequel to Because the Night!!
Have you read Because the Night?
FROM GOODREADS: Immortal Dilemma is the hottest band in the Las Vegas vampire rock scene. They draw insatiable fans from around the globe, thanks to a supernatural attraction called Bloodlust. Tristan craved such an opportunity to fill his empty mortal life, and now he has eternity to earn his place along the legends of rock n roll debauchery.
Callie always feared that Tristan's excesses would get him into trouble, but she never thought they'd lead him to immortality. To reconnect with him, she must weave her way through a world not only she had no idea existed, but does not welcome her.
Blade turned down a spot in Immortal Dilemma after learning what he must sacrifice for that lifestyle. He finds Callie a refreshing change from the girls in the vampire rock scene. When Callie drags Blade back into the world of Immortal Dilemma, his resistance drives her into the waiting arms of Tristan, who shows her the true meaning of Bloodlust.
But the very things that Callie fights so hard to save are the very things that fight to destroy her.
Vampire rock stars in Las Vegas? Yes please! Here's what's different about Because the Night– Immortal Dilemma is a rock band that is on a reality show. They party hard, they have an endless stream of willing girls, and it's more than Callie can stand to watch. This is her Tristan after all. Some believe they are really vampires, others (Like our girl, Callie) do not. After all, Tristan was never perfect and partied… but a vampire?
Yes, Callie, he's a vampire. Those fangs are real. Well, crap.
It's all new to Callie… It's scary… It's everything she doesn't want for herself or Tristan… It's also hot as hell.
This book takes "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" to a new level. IN VEGAS, everyone accepts that vampires are real. Not only that– but there are half-breeds of sorts who drink vampire blood. Depending on who that vampire is determines what kind of vampire powers you'll have. It's a very interesting and cool twist.
Anyway, I loved this book for so many different reasons. One: I started out hating on Tristan. Even though I was into all his rock star–staring Callie down while he played on stage–oh, god his shirt is open–confessions while still being cocky–fast moving–jealous Tristan= happy Gabi–….. hold up. I may not have hated on him. 😉 But, I did end up loving him.

Calvary Chapel superintendent John Trevino released a formal statement to the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Tuesday afternoon regarding the school's hiring of controversial basketball coach Dave Bliss.
"Calvary Chapel Christian School believes as the Bible teaches that Christ Jesus came to save sinners (1 Timothy 1:15) and that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16)," Trevino wrote in an email.
"This message of hope is unique to the Gospel and provides the basis for the firm belief that God can forgive, redeem and restore any life. We are committed to pursuing excellence in spiritual growth, academics, co-curricular, extra-curricular and all aspects of a Christ-centered education."
On Monday, during the annual Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association preseason meetings at Chaparral High School, Trevino refused to answer questions about Bliss' hiring and repeated "First Timothy 1:15" as he departed the school's premises alongside the 73-year-old coach.
Bliss will serve as the athletic director and boys basketball coach at Calvary Chapel. He won 526 games at the Division I level, but has been linked to violations and cover-ups at most of his coaching stops.

Convenience Electronics Inc. (CEI) in McFarland, Wis., has a lot to boast about these days. In less than six months, CEI eliminated a $700,000 production backlog and achieved 100% on-time shipping. It also overcame operational challenges including component shortages, costly rework due to unacceptable quality issues and low productivity.
And it ended high employee turnover, ultimately adding 15 new employees. In January 2012, CEI moved into a new 12,000-square-foot manufacturing and office space. Additional facility expansion may be on the horizon, according to CEI owner Harry Lum, who expects to triple sales in five years.
How did CEI turn things around in a downturned economy? CEI, a custom wiring harness and electronic assembly solutions provider, wasn't afraid to make necessary improvements and changes, and it sought assistance from UW-Extension's Phil Jackson, a counselor in the Wisconsin Small Business Development Center Network (SBDC) managed by UW-Extension.
To assist CEI in implementing a process for improvement, Phil interviewed CEI's key employees and several line staff. He then conducted a series of seven meetings.
"He designed the meetings specifically for Convenience Electronics, addressed our concerns," Harry says. "I was impressed that it wasn't just a cookie cutter presentation. He personalized it and made it applicable to us."
A formal training program that focused on leadership skills, communications, setting goals and reviewing progress was developed for managers, leads and prototype staff. Enhanced communication and leadership skills elevated employee morale and ended the high turnover the company had been experiencing.
Today CEI employs 47 people. Its customer service and manufacturing managers continue to hold daily meetings to stay on top of operational and manufacturing issues.
In the first half of 2012, CEI reported record sales revenues and billings, which are projected to exceed $4 million, up 28% from 2011 sales. To support its growing operations, CEI is finalizing a $100,000 lease for additional manufacturing equipment.
Harry attributes the company's impressive turnaround to the performance improvements achieved through the SBDC-facilitated training sessions. As his company continues to grow, he considers the SBDC and Phil a valuable resource.
The success of CEI has not gone unrecognized.
As a minority-owned business, CEI was selected as a finalist for the Marketplace 2012 "Outstanding Large Business" Award. The recognition is a credit to CEI's unwavering focus on the customer, adding value to its customer's products with high-quality manufacturing and on-time delivery at a fair price.
